  2. It’s great that Air Bud and the Air Buddies have parlayed their athletic success into a platform where they can advocate for rescue dogs. But are they the ideal symbols of this message? The whole premise of the Air Buddies is that their parentage gives these puppies special abilities - in other words, they’ve been bred.

Still, it indicates that Air Bud remembers where he came from - he was rescued from an abusive owner by his young owner/the sport of basketball. It also shows that the filmmakers are still trying to make amends for “Foster Pussycat Kill Kill,” the ill-fated R-rated Air Bud murder mystery adventure, where he tracks down a rescue cat who murders her adoptive family.

  16. Kyle Kinane tells a heartwarming story about bunnies in love. I’m not sure that there’s comedian who makes me laugh as hard as Kyle Kinane does on a regular basis. In fact, I’d even say “guffaw,” because it’s often the kind of laugh where you spit a little bit, and then you’re coughing a little bit, and meanwhile Kinane is making you think about your grocery shopping experience in a completely new way.

    Kyle has crashed at my apartment once, at a night where we already had two people sleeping on couches. So all we could offer Kyle to sleep on was a fluffy rug that looked like a polar bear pelt, and then for covers, a weird blanket that had a bunch of deer printed on it. And you know, it looked sort of perfect. I wish we’d had a Don’t Tread On Me flag pillowcase, but otherwise we really couldn’t have done better.

    He’ll be at The Business LA tomorrow night, along with Louis Katz and the rest of the Businessmen. Nerdist Theater at Meltdown Comics, 8:00, eight bucks in advance, no service charge.

  19. I first met Louis Katz at one of the early Heuristic Squelch comedy shows at UC Berkeley. We had an open mic directly after the regular show, and I think Louis was the only non-Squelch staffer to get up. Even then, he was very self-assured on stage and also fairly dirty, though not as down n’ dirty as he’d later become. He talked about how attending public school gives you the ability to hold your shit in indefinitely, and how his balls were so smelly he could get high off their scent.
It was years before I started doing stand-up for real, and by then Louis was well on his way to Los Angeles, New York, and Comedy Central stardom. Along the way, I saw him rap in Portuguese, scrap with ruffians outside Cancun Taqueria, and just get really fantastic at comedy. We’ve spent a lot of claustrophobic hours together on an elevator to space, but this Friday night, he joins The Business LA lineup (along with Kyle Kinane) at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. I’m excited to see Louis’ new stuff, but I still have zero interest in smelling his balls.

  22. Katy Perry wore a dual Patriots-Giants jersey at the Super Bowl pregame today. So as not to alienate any fans, she hedged her bets an supported both teams, To paraphrase Michael Jordan, “Football fans buy Katy Perry records, too.” In some cases, a split jersey reflects genuinely split loyalties, like Brady Quinn’s sister at the Fiesta Bowl.
This was a common sight in the Bay Area during the 80’s, especially during the Bay Bridge Series in 1989. The split cap was omnipresent, whether it was front-running Giants fans catching Bash Brothers fever, or A’s fans trying to avoid shankings in the post-earthquake Candlestick parking lot. Putting on the SF/OAK hat was embarrassing, but the split SF/OAK jersey was far, far worse. Wearing the split jersey says, “I just spent over a hundred dollars to tell the world I’m indecisive.” It’s like putting a bumper sticker on your car that just says, “ABORTION.” You’re not picking a side, but you’re aware that there is a difference of opinion.
In a related story, here’s a clip of me discussing the Bay Area baseball fan experience:

  25. 3:35pm|reblogged from NFL Off-Season:
    Who are the politicians rooting for?

    As we get closer and closer to kickoff, one question remains: Who are our nation’s finest politicians supporting? Our exhaustive research gives the big answer.

    Barack Obama: New England Patriots. Normally, an incumbent president during an election year, wouldn’t risk alienating one fan base by choosing sides. However, Obama is from Chicago, and on record as a passionate fan of the Bears. He can’t in good conscience pick the New York Giants, unless he wants a 20-minute profanity-laden phone tirade from Rahm Emanuel.

    Newt Gingrich: New England Patriots. Like Gingrich, Coach Bill Belichick is an unconventional, out-of-the-box thinker. Newt wants to go start a colony on the moon, Belichick is willing to play a wide receiver at defensive back for years. Would you be surprised if Bill Belichick already had a base on the moon, solely devoted to training linebackers and tight ends?

    Both men have a history of adultery. Not only that, but Newt left his wife for a younger woman when she had cancer; Belichick abandoned Drew Bledsoe for a younger QB when Mo Lewis ruptured Bledsoe’s spleen. Gingrich has to decide if he can cheer for New England while also demanding that Aaron Hernandez be deported.

    Rick Santorum: New York Giants. The Giants played well on a very sloppy field in the NFC Championship game. It was muddy, the field was slippery, and when the rain hit, the field almost seemed…frothy. Also, Eli Manning might be the best QB in the league in terms of coming from behind. If that doesn’t say “santorum,” then I don’t know what does.

    Mitt Romney: New England Patriots. He’s the former governor of Massachusetts, so this is a slam dunk. The Patriots have a very poor pass defense, but Romney doesn’t care about the very poor. Romney knows what it’s like to lose to a clearly inferior opponent and then wait four long years to get another shot. He’s also promised to repeal ObamaCare AND Bill Belichick’s fine for SpyGate. 


    Ron Paul: San Francisco 49ers. Paul wants to put America back on the gold standard, and he wants to put the Super Bowl back on the red-and-gold standard. Other Ron Paul NFL positions include rolling back instant replay, conducting a full audit of the NFL Network, and eliminating of underperforming and inefficient AFC West division. That being said, Ron Paul does own a Wes Welker jersey, though he wears his Peyton Hillis jersey a lot more.

    Dennis Kucinich: New York Giants. An outspoken opponent of the US invasion of Iraq, Kucinich jumped on the Giants bandwagon after they beat the Cowboys, in part because they neutralized Dallas’ pass-rushing outside linebacker. However, it could be that Kucinich may have misread post-game articles that praised New York’s “anti-Ware effort.” Also, he likes Tom Coughlin because their faces both look weird on TV.

    Sarah Palin: The BC Lions of the CFL. You can totally see Russia from Vancouver.
